The carrier of the present invention can be used in a batch '" human heat treatment apparatus for performing heat >0 on a plurality of substrates at the same time. The batch type heat treatment device may be discharged from the interior & for the heat treatment; the heater for heating the substrate; and the gas supply tube for supplying the atmosphere or the gas to adjust the heat treatment process, and the gas supply tube has a tg Composition. Since the structure of the above-described batch type heat treatment apparatus and the heat treatment process of the technician type heat treatment apparatus are well known in the art, a detailed description of this part will be omitted. 201001600 Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a carrier 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a view showing first and second support paths 210 and 220 of a carrier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. A perspective view of the structure, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the carrier 100 of the embodiment of the present invention carries the substrate 10. 5, as shown in FIG. 1, the structure of the carrier 100 includes: a lower and upper frame 110, 120; a vertical frame 200 that is connected to the frame 11〇, ρο; and a majority of the vertical frame 200 One lane 210; and a plurality of second support lanes 220 perpendicular to each of the first lanes 210 and interconnecting the first lane 210. In the batch type heat treatment apparatus, a heat treatment process may be performed after the substrate 10 is placed in a state in which the carrier 1 is disposed inside the chamber 10 which provides the heat treatment space. According to the case, the substrate 10 may be carried on the carrier 1 provided outside the chamber, and in this state, the carrier 1 is inserted into the inside of the chamber and then subjected to a heat treatment process. The lower casing 11A and the upper casing 12 are combined with the vertical casing 2〇〇15 described later to constitute a basic skeleton of the carrier 100. The lower casing 11 and the upper casing 12 are each formed in a rectangular shape having a predetermined size and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and the same direction on both sides of the carrier 1 is preferably arranged in parallel. At this time, the size of the lower casing 110 and the upper casing 12 is generally determined in consideration of the size of the rectangular substrate 10 carried by the batch type heat treatment apparatus for flat panel display manufacturing. The vertical frame 200 is connected to the lower frame 110 and the upper frame 120 to form a basic skeleton of the carrier 100. Both ends of the vertical frame 200 are coupled to the lower frame 11 〇 and the upper frame 201001600 body 12 分别, respectively. At this time, the vertical housing 200 is disposed on the long side of the substrate 10 carried by the carrier ι and is coupled to the lower and upper housings 11A and 12B. Generally, the carrier 100 is provided with a plurality of vertical frames 200. In this case, the shape and length of the frame 200 are preferably the same. As shown in FIG. 1, the figure 5 illustrates that the number of the vertical frames 200 provided on the carrier 100 is three on each of the two long sides of the substrate 10, that is, all six are provided, but not It is limited to this, and various changes can be made as needed. Further, it is preferable that at least four vertical frame bodies 2 are connected to the four corners of the lower frame 1 and the upper frame 120 on both sides of the carrier, so as to stably support the carrier. The substrate 10 of the body 100. The first support path 210 is formed on one side of the vertical frame 200 and has a function of supporting the air on the long side of the substrate 1 of the carrier. At this time, the first corridor 210 is formed to extend in the direction of the inner side of the substrate 1A. Preferably, each of the vertical frames 200 is formed with the same number of first branches 15 at the same intervals. The number of the first support tracks 21A formed in each of the vertical frames 200 is preferably the same as the total number of the substrates 10 that can be carried by the carrier 100. Therefore, the total number of the i-th support tracks 210 formed on the carrier 1 can be six times that of the substrate 1〇. For example, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, when it is assumed that the carrier 1 〇〇 can carry 27 substrates, the total number of the first support tracks 21 形成 formed in the vertical frame 2 20 20 is 162. The length and width of the first support path 210 can be variously changed within a range in which the long side of the substrate 1A can be stably supported. The second support path 220 has a plurality of first support channels 210 disposed on each of the vertical frames 2, and has a long side of the substrate 10 supported by the first support path 210 on the 201001600 carrier 100. The role. At this time, the second support path 220 is formed perpendicular to each of the first support paths 210. The second support path 220 is joined to the second support path 21 by fusion or the like after being in contact with the front end of each of the first support paths 210 on one side thereof, and the first support path 210 can be connected by 5, but It is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the first support path 2 0 and the second support path 220 in the same layer may be integrally formed, and then placed on one side of each of the vertical frames 2 . As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, since the first support passages 210 are connected to one second support passage 220, the number of the second support passages 10 22 that are formed on the one support carrier 1 is considered to be Preferably, the number of substrates 1 可 that the carrier 100 can carry is preferably twice. For example, if the carrier 1 〇〇 can carry 27 substrates 1 , the total number of the second support tracks 220 is 54 . The length and width of the second support path 220 can be variously changed within a range in which the long side of the substrate 10 can be stably supported. Thereby, each of the substrates 10 carried on the carrier 100 corresponds to the first and second support tracks 210, 220 for supporting the substrate 10. In this case, the upper portions of the first and second support paths 210 and 220 are substantially aligned on the same surface, and the long sides of the substrate 10 can be simultaneously supported by the first and second support paths 210 and 220. . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the upper portion of the second support rail 220 may be supported higher than the upper portion of the first support passage 210, and the substrate 1 may be supported by the second support passage 220. Long side. Further, it is preferable that the portions of the first and second support paths 210 and 220 that are in contact with the bottom surface of the substrate 1 are formed into a planar shape, and the upper substrate 1 can be more stably supported on the upper surfaces of the first and second support paths 210 and 220. . 201001600 vertical frame
